Blizzard Will Get World of Warcraft Legacy Servers According to Nostalrius Manager

Back in April, Blizzard stopped one pirate World of Warcraft server that had the MMO's beginnings before it was able to receive any expansions. Blizzard visited with the Nostalrius team responsible for Nostalrius in the past, and we have a clear idea of what they spoke about, and what Blizzard is on the issue of old servers.

"After this session, we're confident that these guys WANT to get traditional WoW servers, that's certain," said project manager Viper on the Nostalrius forums. "We have done everything we could try to create this presentation and discussion as professional as possible and it evidently was a nice surprise present for everyone on the Blizzard team, with CEO Mike Morhaime in particular."

The event was scheduled to last less than two hours, but ended up taking for over five hours. Viper affirms the Blizzard was "very attuned, curious, [and] very attentive." Attendees included actor Morhaime, executive producer J. Allen Brack, and game director Tom Chilton. Viper mentions that the Nostalrius team was "very shocked by the level of reverence and admiration they were able to show for" the legacy server work they'd worked on.

The discussions that took place included the history of the pirate server and how it was created along with other technical details like the anti-cheat system the team developed for Nostalrius. But, nothing related to bringing official legacy servers to life was confirmed.

"First of all, don't forget that, at a company of this size that nothing is decided during a single meeting. They have the right to announce any decision that is official by themselves," Viper wrote. They added that Blizzard has access to the code source of "Vanilla WoW," and it would require "tremendous effort" to get it up buy WOW WOTLK Classic Gold and running
